Chapter 22: Night

Ping An never said the fact that Liu Jin confessed that he framed Zhang Tianrui.

Zhu Houzhao can't understand it, it's illogical.

But life is not fiction,

Nor is everyone a completely rational individual.

Reality is illogical.

Reality can only be accepted.

Just like Li Guang, he can only accept the prince's estrangement from him.

Fortunately, he may have been in the palace for many years, and he will not be too flustered if something happens.

Changqing also brought the news back.

The crown prince really punished Liu Jin severely,

According to the intimate relationship between the two in the past, they knelt for most of the day, beat 20 boards, and scolded them again, and even threatened with death, and this was just for a Zhang Tianrui.

Isn't this called a cruel call?

"How could His Highness be inclined to Wenchen......" Li Guang was really distressed, "It's not obvious that those people are bullying Your Majesty?" Your Majesty listens to them, they praise the virtuous, and if they don't listen to them, they scold, how can there be such courtiers throughout the ages? And Liu Jin, what's going on? ”

Changqing never thought that Liu Jin really spread fake news.

Isn't your brain not very good lately? That's why he was severely punished by the prince.

"Godfather, Liu Jin's side, let's deal with it later, mainly the prince...... If the civil officials say that the prince will come to His Majesty's side...... Then we're in danger. ”

Yes, although Li Guang is not so worried for the time being, after all, the emperor still trusts him.

But the prince's attitude towards him has always been a hidden danger,

Therefore, there has never been a time when he wished that the emperor would live a long life like now.

"What does the prince like?" Li Guang fell into path dependence,

It was this that won the emperor's trust.

The question stopped both of them, but at the same time gave them ideas.

I can only inquire about this again.

……

……

Qiuyun added a quilt to Zhu Houzhao.

She led a few palace maids to tidy up.

"In the past few days, you have spoken a lot less, are you a little scared?"

Liu Jin, who has such a good relationship with His Royal Highness, is such a result,

Qiuyun said that he was not afraid, it was fake.

This also triggered a trace of recognition of Zhang Yong in Zhu Houzhao's heart, if he hadn't reminded him, it was estimated that everyone in the East Palace would have been scared out of their souls.

Even if it is a foreign minister, he will feel that this prince is uncertain, benevolent for a while, and unkind for a while.

Qiuyun put his two small hands in front of his abdomen and pinched and pinched.

Her hair is very dark and soft, and a small rub falls on the corner of her eye, and sometimes she will pluck it, giving people the feeling of an early Hong Kong pure actress.

"Autumn clouds... It's not that I'm afraid. What His Highness does has his own reasoning. As a subordinate, you should never have the idea of wanting to be forgiven if you have done something wrong. ”

"Go down, all of you." Zhu Houzhao said to the older palace maids who made the bed, and then asked Qiuyun to sit on the stool.

I don't know why, maybe it's because I saved this person, so I feel that she misses her life-saving grace, so she has more trust.

Or maybe it's because in the past few days, Qiu Yun's every answer is in place, and he has a delicate heart, not the kind of person who is beautiful but stupid.

It made him feel a little close.

After all, he's another soul who is a little unfamiliar with this space,

When you first come here, you will always be more familiar with the people you have first come into contact with.

And now what he meets in this Forbidden City is either a eunuch who makes him feel strange, or a Confucian official who is not interesting, of course, the father and the queen are also counted, but there are some things that are always difficult to say to them.

Although Qiuyun's status is very low, he is at least a normal person.

Outside, it was completely dark, and only the candles flickered inside.

"Sit down and dine with me."

Where is Qiuyun willing, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"You are the one who walked by before the ghost gate closed, you should be free. There are no outsiders here, as long as I don't punish you, others won't dare to say anything. In the past, Liu Jin might talk nonsense, find fault with you and say that you are unruly, but now he won't. ”

Saying this, Qiu Yun pursed his lips and smiled.

Father-in-law Liu hasn't been beaten by twenty boards.

Zhu Houzhao's habit in his previous life was to eat a lot at night, to be precise, he refused to eat breakfast, he ate lunch, and he used his life to eat dinner.

So it was a bit of a habit, so I let people pass on the meal and made braised fish, chicken soup and a dish of shallots mixed with tofu.

Especially tonight, the moonlight is also very good,

It was this moonlight that made Zhu Houzhao a little homesick, thinking about everything in that different time and space.

"Qiuyun, don't tell me a second time, sit down."

The girl's family probably felt the prince's sincerity, so they no longer shirked, and took the initiative to help with the vegetables.

"Your Highness, when I was young, my mother told me not to eat too much before going to bed, not to be hungry, just to be able to fall asleep. But...... My mother is not a doctor, and I later thought that it was because I was always not eating enough, so I wanted us to eat less. ”

"Do you still have family?"

Qiu Yun's face darkened, "I have a younger brother, who is probably still alive." But I haven't seen it in a long time. ”

In a way,

This girl is just like herself,

The Forbidden City is all about being far from home.

Zhu Houzhao has a lot to say, but he is still very young after all, and many words make people feel too strange, and he is still the prince.

So in addition to talking about these parents, it seems that I can't say anything.

But it always feels better to sit next to someone than to be alone in an empty ancient building.

Zhu Houzhao came to the window and looked up at the bright moonlight, he used to think that this was very hypocritical, but now he found that those things did not happen to him.

Qiu Yun looked at the back of the prince and was also confused, she didn't understand very well.

It stands to reason that the prince's status is respected, his parents are by his side, and he can see him if he wants to, which is much better than her.

But at the same time, she could clearly feel the prince's sorrow.

"Your Highness, but what's on your mind?"

Zhu Houzhao maintained a posture of looking up, even once in a while, and he would allow for relaxation and sentimentality.

"Autumn clouds...... If you were just a tea maid in the palace, your life might be much calmer. But you come to the East Palace, by my side, here is the whirlpool of power, and you can't be so weak in the future. ”

"Your Highness, ...... this"

"I know you're afraid of Liu Jin, and at the same time keep a low profile. But last time, didn't Liu Jin still come to the door and ask you questions? That's the difference between being here for me and just being a maid of the tea palace. ”

"Your Highness!" Qiu Yun was startled and suddenly knelt down.

Zhu Houzhao was helpless, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, I don't want to do anything to you." I'm not spying on you, but there are more people coming to me than you can imagine. I say these things today for your own good. ”

"Your Highness, can you be more clear?"

"I like your temperament, careful, quiet, and unhurried to get things done, that's why I say this. But because you are too soft-natured, you can endure it, hide if you can, and you don't want to do sinners' things, but only insignificant people can avoid being hated. ”

And she is close to the crown prince, and there will only be more troubles in the future, not less.

Explaining it this way, Qiu Yun probably understood, she hadn't thought about this layer before, but the prince thought about it.

No wonder everyone now says that the prince is smart and will be a generation of saints in the future.
